Feel free to explain a woodpecker.

What did I say to bring that on?

What did I say to bring that on? ["Feel free to explain a woodpecker."]

Mantra for the threatened worldview. Think of a terrified ingénue menaced by a vampire. Instead of a crucifix, she whips out ... a woodpecker. Somehow, somewhere, you scared the poor silverback. Evidently not a silverback gorilla.

I can remember once having to admit I didn't know how the poor woodpecker got his tongue all twisted up like that, but nevertheless citing Dawkins that "Evolution is smarter than you are." (Which is always taken by creationists to mean that Evolution is some kind of anthropomorphic God to the evos after all.)

The evolution of the woodpecker's tongue.
